440 Dakota

Sorry brain is mush right now, have lots going on, so here is the question, Is there a chart that list the heights and widths of the various Fujimi tire and wheel sets ?

I just spent a bunch of time searching the web looking for maybe a chart or detailed listing for the sizes of heights and widths in mm of the various Fujimi wheel sets, I've found a couple sets that I want to order if they are sized correctly for the projects

Spot on

I would buy it if done correctly simply because of scale, but there is not or will never be a 24/25 scale tri five that I will buy again, been there done all that and its time to move on

I'm thinking that maybe a 1/24 scale NASCAR square G body kit or maybe a 1/24 NASTRUCK kit would be close and can be found dirt cheap

Thanks for the info, didn't know that, I was just passing through DT and seen it, thought maybe I'd try my hand at starting a garage diorama, sounds like it would be better to spend a few bucks and get quality stuff

Don't know if there's something special or different about that brand foam board but if you have Dollar Tree stores near you check there, its a buck a sheet and I think its 20 x 20 size 1/2 thick

yup here's a quick pic from google, who knows why that was done

pretty sure its from the MPC 87 Dodge Daytona mp

I would buy several Power Wagons, a couple Vegas and Mavericks in race trim only wouldn't be interested in stock versions

I was thinking the exact same thing while looking at Luc's posting and enjoying Cherrios this morning knowing no way would we get a separate frame or 2wd remake of this, so got to thinking what has a separate frame and is 2wd with similar size and all I could think as a possibility is van kits, so what does everyone think about modifying one to fit the truck body ?? I don't really build vans so don't have any here to try out

agreed there is plenty of 5 lug stuff maybe they could do some 6 lugs in a Chevy kit of some sort, that's mostly what I remember them being on and anything other than what was included last time will be a welcome addition for sure, some full wheel covers could be cool as well

Not sure why you would want 6 lug wheels in this vintage Dodge truck kit, never used them on light duty trucks only the import 50 series and then Dakota/Durango till 04 or so

here's a scarce one and I don't think its been mentioned yet, from 1989 yes has some 80's cheese to it but worth watching at least once

my son has an open monster truck at his house and I'm going to try and remember to check it out, gotta find my old long bed chassis to compare

while I'd love to see a long bed guessing its not going to happen, the long chassis plate was modified for the monster truck correct ? so best case I'm hoping for is like mentioned earlier a new short bed tooled up for the LRE kit, but thinking the box art will be changed to a step side and it will be just a LRE reissue kit with new decal and artsy retro box

I've sold a good part of my collection recently on Ebay and will continue to do so, yes the fees for Ebay and Paypal end up being between 18-20% when all said and done, but I've found CL users mostly have garage sale mentality and want to offer little to nothing for items, cant comment on FB I'm not on it, as far as pricing I look at completed auctions and come up an average that a kit sells for and that's my starting price, for shipping I use Priority mail, order free boxes online and recycle newspaper for packing, I've never had a shipping problem, printing your labels from Ebay saves a little money, and when listing an item there's a section to enter package information and it calculates the shipping rate for you which is displayed for the buyer based on location, its always been accurate for me, its all very simple and streamlined

I think the 1st gen Revell S-10 pickup kits and the 2nd Gen AMT S-10 pickups and 2 door blazer kits, I remember these all being on closeouts from distributors now look what their bringing on the secondary market and haven't been reissued to death at least not yet, and no not the Lindberg 1/20th that's currently out

yeah same here the first gens were pretty popular, here's a GT 2 barn find that I picked up last fall

for me its air cooled VW stuff have 3 projects going at this time, 69 Baja Bug, Berrrien rail and a Bradley GT2, then there's the Guitars, Archery, Firearms and 1/4 scale and larger R/C planes balsa and film construction type only

I kinda like the yellow one and have seen the purple Challenger in person and IIRC it was done very well, guessing these were done years before everything has become considered so darn collectible, kinda refreshing to see some of these old customs that actually stand out at shows instead of getting lost in a sea of Camaros, Corvettes or whatever, Goggle them there were/are lots of conversions similar to these

None of the above for me

nope and don't see any reason to, the secondary market will keep us supplied for many years, look how many kits are listed at any given time, almost 130K right now on Ebay automotive, and very few kits are so rare you might never see them again

turning 51 soon and have spent over 44 years passionately enjoying the hobby along with many others, but honestly starting to burn out on it, all the reissues bore me to tears, kinda like been there done that so maybe I'll start giving aircraft, big rigs or trains a try

So have you tried to contact them ? if so how did it go ? was planning to order something but wondering about this
